  Case: Differentiated Instruction
While walking to classrooms, you visit a 3rd grade reading classroom. In this class, 10 of the 25 students are English learners. The teacher, Mrs. Beckham, is teaching a lesson with the following objective: Students will compare and contrast a fiction and nonfiction story. What are the different ways Mrs. Beckham could have her students use language to achieve this content objective?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Beckham can use vocabulary with pictures, a word wall or word bank. Students can also be allowed to answer in both English and Spanish. Students can discuss and work with other students to compare and contrast fiction and nonfiction. Some students may need to provide examples of fiction and nonfiction books in their comparison as well.
